Adam Rotter:If there is some progress that comes from today’s meeting, the next one should involve a Ken Holland or Lou Lamoriello on the owner side and a Pat Brisson or Don Meehan on the player side. They are the guys who came up with the front-loading contracts and surely they can get creative with other contracting rights.

11:50AM: Elliotte Friedman writes at CBC that if the people in the room today can’t get it going, it’s time to bring in the General Managers and agents “If not, it’s time for the Steve Yzermans, the Joe Nieuwendyks, the Doug Wilsons, the Jim Rutherfords, the Ken Hollands, the Dean Lombardis, the Don Baizleys, the Don Meehans, the Pat Brissons, the Mike Liuts (you see where I’m going here) to take over. Those are the people who really deal with the CBA on a day-in and day-out basis. Bettman doesn’t trust the GMs or the agents, but they do have one important skill — they’re dealmakers.”

Well if the Jets don't do well next season, I'm pretty sure as far as strength of schedule is concerned, the jets would have no problem getting the 1st pick in the 2016 draft. I doubt they pick first though, but if they did and we miss out on Winston and Mariota, the Jets can get Hackenberg or Cook in 2016.

With next season's schedule and last season's effort the Jets would have made the playoffs for sure. Rex can find a way to win enough games with this schedule unfortunately he won't be with the Jets and the Jets will start off fresh, but with the talent already on the roster minus some dead wait and some solid contributers added and Jameis Winston, I can see them going to the post season, Rothlisberger took his team to the superbowl as a rookie and people compare Winston to him, there can be good reason to be optimistic for next season, all depends on what Woody will do, how hard he will push to get the best Football minds working for him.

Easy schedule. Get one of the top qbs lockup a good coach and his own brand new regime. He will prob keep Dunbar because he has been terrific. Switch the scheme up to 4-3 to really give Mo and Sheldon some great opportunities.

@Matt Ymbras@Brendan@ijets Miliner and McDougle can be a solid pair of corner backs. And Geno can become a good QB. Amaro and Pryor will be very good next year. And I will win the lottery and get a flying pony.

@Brendan@dabronx It shouldn't be, IMO. Dude can be an enforcer. Coverage was never his forte. Don't agree with management on that call. He should be Dawan's eventual replacement. We need a better coverage ball hawk FS.

@Brendan@ijets No it can't. This team stinks, it's going to take a few years at least, unless they get super lucky (i.e. Russel Wilson in the 3rd round and Richard Sherman in the 5th, or Tom Brady in the 6th)

>>The team isn't going to be as bad as it was this year, not by a long shot.

@dabronx His range is phenomenal, though. Rex always like to use safeties that are "dual-purpose" in that they can play either position. It's easier to find a serviceable SS to play the run than it is to find someone who can patrol up top (which I think this season should have proven). Grooming Pryor, who has the ability to be like an Earl Thomas on this team, to be the team's top safety is worth a year of growing pains. He's flashed some of that range lately, so hopefully his little benching and meeting issue kind of snapped him into form.

He can be a very good FS, he has good football instincts he just needs to learn and develop the film and behind-the-scenes aspect of his game. He knows how to hit people, that's not going away.

@Brendan@dabronx but but but but what about Antonio Allen, how has he fallen off the radar, he gets no love, Rex abused him having him play corner and then when he couldn't do it, just kick him to the curb? Last season he showed he can be an emerging Safety, I thought Allen and Pryor would be an excellent tandem, they would compliment each other pretty well.
